Mechanism of action

E2F transcription factors are key regulators of the cell cycle and are often dysregulated in cancer and fibrotic diseases. By acting as a molecular decoy, CGT003 competitively binds E2F proteins and prevents them from activating their target genes, thereby inhibiting aberrant cell proliferation. This mechanism is intended to reduce pathological cell growth in conditions driven by E2F overactivity.
